“ADI delivered solid results for the fourth quarter, with revenue
increasing by 2% and diluted EPS increasing by 4% compared to the prior
quarter,” said Jerald G. Fishman, CEO. “For the year, revenue decreased
9.8% to about $2.7 billion, reflecting difficult economic conditions and
prevailing global uncertainty. We nevertheless generated 65% gross
margins, 31% operating margins and over $800 million, or 30% of revenue,
in cash from operations for the year.”

Mr. Fishman continued, “Overall orders decreased during the quarter as
customers became more cautious and continued to reduce inventories, in
many cases to historically low levels. As a result, we began reducing
our production levels in the fourth quarter and will reduce them further
in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to keep our inventory at appropriate
levels. While this will reduce gross margins in the short term, we
believe this should provide significant operating leverage when growth
resumes.”

ADI also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a cash
dividend of $0.30 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend
will be paid on December 18, 2012 to all shareholders of record at the
close of business on December 7, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release includes non-GAAP financial measures that are not in
accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting
principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other
companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

Schedule F of this press release provides the reconciliation of the
Company’s non-GAAP measures to its GAAP measures.

Manner in Which Management Uses the Non-GAAP
Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income,
non-GAAP operating margins, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to
evaluate the Company’s operating performance from continuing operations
against past periods and to budget and allocate resources in future
periods. These non-GAAP measures also assist management in understanding
and evaluating the Company’s operating results and trends in the
Company’s business.

Restructuring-Related Expenses. These expenses are incurred in
connection with facility closures, consolidation of manufacturing
facilities, and other cost reduction efforts. Apart from ongoing expense
savings as a result of such items, these expenses and the related tax
effects have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in
the future.

CIO, CTO & Developer Resources

The following item is excluded from our non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share:

Tax-Related Items. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the
Company recorded a $13 million tax benefit related to taxes that are
one-time in nature. These one-time tax items included the reinstatement
of the R&D tax credit in December 2010, retroactive to January 1, 2010;
a reduction in a state tax credit valuation reserve we had recorded in
prior years; and a benefit from the increase to the Irish deferred tax
asset as a result of the increase in the Irish manufacturing tax rate
from 10% to 12.5%. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company
recorded a one-time $10.8 million tax benefit for a settlement with the
Internal Revenue Service related to certain tax matters for the fiscal
2004 through fiscal 2007 tax years. We excluded these tax-related items
from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax
expense on our current operating results.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a one-time
$3.4 million tax benefit related to the release of a tax reserve for an
expired tax year. We excluded this tax-related item from our non-GAAP
measures because it is not associated with the tax expense on our
current operating results.

Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP operating
expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, and
non-GAAP diluted EPS is useful to investors because it provides
investors with the operating results that management uses to manage the
Company.

Material Limitations Associated with Use of the
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Analog Devices believes that non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP
operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, and non-GAAP diluted EPS
have material limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts
associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance
with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our
results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP
measures. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to
the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company’s use of
non-GAAP measures, and the underlying methodology when excluding certain
items, is not necessarily an indication of the results of operations
that may be expected in the future, or that the Company will not, in
fact, record such items in future periods.

Innovation, performance, and excellence are the cultural pillars on
which Analog Devices has built one of the longest standing, highest
growth companies within the technology sector. Acknowledged
industry-wide as the world leader in data conversion and signal
conditioning technology, Analog Devices serves over 60,000 customers,
representing virtually all types of electronic equipment. Analog Devices
is headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, with design and
manufacturing facilities throughout the world. Analog Devices' common
stock is included in the S&P 500 Index.

This release may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements
intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements include, among other things, our statements
regarding expected revenue,earnings per share, operating
expenses, gross margin, tax rate, and other financial results, expected
production and inventory levels, expected market trends, and expected
customer demand and order rates for our products,that are based
on our current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates, forecasts,
and projections about our business and the industry and markets in which
Analog Devices operates. The statements contained in this release are
not guarantees of future performance, are inherently uncertain, involve
certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to
predict, and do not give effect to the potential impact of any mergers,
acquisitions, divestitures, or business combinations that may be
announced or closed after the date hereof. Therefore, actual outcomes
and results may differ materially from what is expressed in such
forward-looking statements, and such statements should not be relied
upon as representing Analog Devices’ expectations or beliefs as of any
date subsequent to the date of this press release. We do not undertake
any obligation to update forward-looking statements made by us.
Important factors that may affect future operating results include:
sovereign debt issues globally, any faltering in global economic
conditions or the stability of credit and financial markets, erosion of
consumer confidence and declines in customer spending, unavailability of
raw materials, services, supplies or manufacturing capacity, changes in
geographic, product or customer mix, adverse results in litigation
matters, and other risk factors described in our most recent filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Our results of
operations for the periods presented in this release are not necessarily
indicative of our operating results for any future periods. Any
projections in this release are based on limited information currently
available to Analog Devices, which is subject to change. Although any
such projections and the factors influencing them will likely change, we
will not necessarily update the information, as we will only provide
guidance at certain points during the year. Such information speaks only
as of the original issuance date of this release.

The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a
variety of data points including the technical characteristics of
the product, the “sold to” customer information, the "ship to"
customer information and the end customer product or application
into which our product will be incorporated. As data systems for
capturing and tracking this data evolve and improve, the
categorization of products by end market can vary over time. When
this occurs we reclassify revenue by end market for prior periods.
Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing
of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

Revenue Trends by Product Type

The categorization of our products into broad categories is based on
the characteristics of the individual products, the specification of
the products and in some cases the specific uses that certain
products have within applications. The categorization of products
into categories is therefore subject to judgment in some cases and
can vary over time. In instances where products move between product
categories we reclassify the amounts in the product categories for
all prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not
materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results
within, each product category.

Cloud data governance was previously an avoided function when cloud deployments were relatively small. With the rapid adoption in public cloud – both rogue and sanctioned, it’s not uncommon to find regulated data dumped into public cloud and unprotected. This is why enterprises and cloud providers alike need to embrace a cloud data governance function and map policies, processes and technology controls accordingly.
In her session at 15th Cloud Expo, Evelyn de Souza, Data Privacy and Compliance Strategy Leader at Cisco Systems, will focus on how to set up a cloud data governance program and s...

Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty

The Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) market will grow to $6.4B by 2018. In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Seth Bostock, CEO of IndependenceIT, will begin by walking the audience through the evolution of Workspace as-a-Service, where it is now vs. where it going.
To look beyond the desktop we must understand exactly what WaaS is, who the users are, and where it is going in the future. IT departments, ISVs and service providers must look to workflow and automation capabilities to adapt to growing demand and the rapidly changing workspace model.

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are increasing at an unprecedented rate. The threat landscape of today is drastically different than just a few years ago. Attacks are much more organized and sophisticated. They are harder to detect and even harder to anticipate. In the foreseeable future it's going to get a whole lot harder. Everything you know today will change. Keeping up with this changing landscape is already a daunting task. Your organization needs to use the latest tools, methods and expertise to guard against those threats. But will that be enough? In the foreseeable future attacks w...

PubNub on Monday has announced that it is partnering with IBM to bring its sophisticated real-time data streaming and messaging capabilities to Bluemix, IBM’s cloud development platform.
“Today’s app and connected devices require an always-on connection, but building a secure, scalable solution from the ground up is time consuming, resource intensive, and error-prone,” said Todd Greene, CEO of PubNub. “PubNub enables web, mobile and IoT developers building apps on IBM Bluemix to quickly add scalable realtime functionality with minimal effort and cost.”

Sensor-enabled things are becoming more commonplace, precursors to a larger and more complex framework that most consider the ultimate promise of the IoT: things connecting, interacting, sharing, storing, and over time perhaps learning and predicting based on habits, behaviors, location, preferences, purchases and more.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Tom Wesselman, Director of Communications Ecosystem Architecture at Plantronics, will examine the still nascent IoT as it is coalescing, including what it is today, what it might ultimately be, the role of wearable tech, and technology gaps stil...

With several hundred implementations of IoT-enabled solutions in the past 12 months alone, this session will focus on experience over the art of the possible.

The Internet of Things has emerged as the universally accepted term for the ‘next big thing’ wave, not replacing but building upon the Cloud Computing cycle, which itself built upon SaaS and ASPs.
There are many technology aspects to this trend, which will be covered extensively throughout this guide and ongoing series, but overall our goal is to describe the associated startup venture opportunities.
Indeed it’s not limited to startups, the IoT represents a new product innovation platform for any and all businesses, and this is the overall theme of this paper.

In my first blog I wrote about SharePoint System Performance Health Checks beyond looking at CPU and Memory Metrics. In this blog, I cover deployment related performance health problems that I always check when looking at a SharePoint Installation. Especially after deploying new hardware, new sites, pages, views, custom or third-party Web Parts (e.g., from AvePoint, K2, Nintex, Metalogix, etc.) it’s important to perform certain deployment sanity checks. While you may have nobody reporting issues in the moment there are several areas that you constantly need to check before they become a real p...

Trust is the fundamental building block of any relationship. Whether it's personal or business, trust is something that cannot be replaced with anything. There are hundreds of books available on how to cultivate business relationships, how to maintain them, and how to leverage the best from them and so on. What forms the basis of a business relationship and what are the fundamental blocks of building trust? Here are three things that will get you started when thinking about using trust building trust and maintaining trust.

Creating global change that is actually good for the entire world is a mammoth task. With a population of almost 7 Billion people as of 2015, the planet is taking a toll with surviving the brunt of keeping the works going. What role can Cloud Computing play in making it easier for all of us?

One important differentiator between what passed for digital back in the dot-com days and today’s notion of digital is the role mobile plays. Yes, this company had a mobile site, and they had what the AVP claimed was a “mobile first” plan for their web content, but as yet they had yet to roll out any responsive design. In the final analysis, their digital effort up to this point boiled down to little more than better brochureware, a la 1990s web redesigns.
But more significantly, what was entirely missing from their digital achievements (although the AVP did indicate that it was a roadmap i...

FedRAMP defines the requirements for cloud service providers’ security controls, including vulnerability scanning, incident monitoring, logging, and reporting. CSPs in use at federal agencies or in acquisition must meet the cloud computing requirements defined by FedRAMP.
Whether or not your company currently works with government agencies, there are several benefits to preparing for FedRAMP.

The challenge facing today’s project management professionals is supporting a more agile approach to software releases while managing orderly governance and production controls that are necessary. Project managers have become air traffic controllers landing more projects more frequently on more runways, and as the skies become more crowded it’s important to understand both the trends and some strategies for managing the increasingly agile enterprise.

Our guest on the podcast this week is Mark Thiele, EVP of Data Center Technology at Switch.

It’s easy to fall into a pattern of dysfunctional releases, release processes that are characterized by delay, inefficiency, and endless meetings that encourage people to view releases as a problem. These are the kinds of meetings that inspire references to the movie Office Space or emails that include clippings of the cartoon Dilbert - repetitive meetings to answer the same questions over and over again all because people lack the tools to connect the issue tracker with the change management systems.
In organizations without a reliable process a release is also a time for production system o...

DevOps is all about removing barriers to rapid, safe delivery of new experiences to your customers. Much of this revolves around automating error-prone, human-driven processes so that processes can be standardized, scaled, and varied programmatically. Some of the types of tools used in a DevOps-minded organization might include version control systems, automation servers, and configuration management systems. Many tools can be used across categories, with varying amounts of success. Some vendors offer products that claim to address all of these needs with one solution – most rarely deliver on ...

Application metrics, logs, and business KPIs are a goldmine.
